A member asked:
Hey i have acne problem and i have an allergy to benzoyl peroxide. can you recommend or give an advice to get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergy ???: I doubt you are allergic to this combination of chemicals. People have a variable sensitivity to its drying effect. Proper use requires a gradual increase in the time it is allowed on the skin until desired effect is reached. Using it too long initially will cause a chemical skin burn/pealing. Avoiding it for a month & using simple moisturizers will repair the skin.
